Ernie is the Boss! He should have another show called... “Ernie J’s Couch” If I may quote the starter, the very 1st guest of the Couch. The Bad Boy Isaiah Thomas... “Maaaaaaaaaaaan C’mon!!!” C’mon Man! Ernie J’s Couch would be a killer! I’d watch it for sure! Would love to see Sir Charles’ Couch! Barkley, The round pound from downtown! OR Denis “The Worm” Rodman’s Couch...

I can't get over the fact that these legends are talking about their legends. Listening to real basketball players talk about basketball is far superior to all those sports writers and broadcasters who have probably never even touched a basketball since grade school.

Also, the panelists consist of a good mix of both stars, leaders, AND role players, so the discussions feel more rounded.

I honestly think John Havlicek is the most overlooked player of all time as time passes on. I know he was mentioned alot by these guys, but the common fans wouldn't even think of saying him. Sure he was the guy off the bench in the 60s and won with Bill. But in the 70s, he was THE guy. He is still Boston's all time leader in multiple categories including points. He would fill the stat sheet every game. Also, 8 and 0 in the Finals.

Kareem couldn't handle Moses, Moses won two MVPs to Kareem's one in 1980, and Moses' Sixers swept the Lakers in the 1983 Finals. It has to be Moses.

@jdmo

7 жыл бұрын

At the end of the day for the Lakers, it was about Magic Johnson. Nobody's rushing to put Michael Cooper on the All-Decade team, and he has those same five rings Kareem won with Magic (btw, I think Cooper should be in the HOF, very underappreciated all-world defender who Bird said gave him the most trouble). Kareem was outplayed badly by Moses in the 1983 sweep by the Sixers. Parish got him in 84. Hakeem beat him him 86. Plus, these guys have Kareem as their center for the 1970s. I don't think Jabbar or Dr. J should have two decades. I watched the Bucks' Marques Johnson outplay Doc many times in the early 1980s and Bird dominated the middle years. There should be a one decade rule. In that sense, Kareem and Dr. J and Rick Barry WERE the 1970s in the NBA, so that's easy. Jordan then, should cede the 1980s to Sidney Moncrief, the only other choice at the 2 guard.

***** Offensive boards its not close at all - 7382 to 2975 (4000+ for Kareem if you estimate for the years the NBA didn't track those).

***** Kareem played in 105 more games and wasn't considered a great rebounder in the 1980s. The raw number doesn't make your case, so whether it's a fact or not is irrelevant. And of course you can estimate if you make conservative estimates based on known performance. Based on kareem's numbers 1974-1977, we can conservatively say he had a minimum of 3 offensive boards a game and almost certainly more given the 115+ pace and the 42+ minutes per game KAJ was playing. At minimum, KAJ had 4000 career offensive rebounds. In the 1980s, the decade at issue, all rebounding counted: KAJ - 5980 total REB, 1563 ORB source permalink for KAJ: www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/abdulka01.html#1980-1989-sum:totals Moses - 10269 total REB, 4224 ORB source link: www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/malonmo01.html#1980-1989-sum:totals Moses All Pro in the 80s: 7x Kareem All Pro in 80s: 6x Head-to-head in playoffs - 2x, 1981 and 1983 Moses wins: 6 KAJ wins: 1 Lakers eliminated by Rockets (1981) and swept by Sixers (1983). Moses wins the 1980s. The Open Court guys clearly dissed Moses in this video. Don't make the same mistake!!

I get everyone's criticism of Nash, especially since he's currently the only retired MVP winner who never reached the Finals. But let's not forget that he was also only one free throw shy of five straight 50-40-90 seasons. Bird averaged those numbers twice; while KD, Price, Reggie, Dirk, & Curry did so in one. Iverson's a great scorer; but he shot .425 fg%, .313 3p%, and .780 ft% for his career.

The reason A.I. or Kobe have lower %s from-the-field is due to several circumstances: A) for most of their careers both were their team's 1st-options on offense (frequently creating their own shot off the dribble) while Nash's primary role is the distributor -who MIGHT create his own shot - but he's as or more likely to catch&shoot, B) A.I. had diddly to kick it out to for 3s during his title run. He got a young Korver later but then ran into the Pistons or injuries every year since. Didn't mesh well-enough with 'Melo to last. In Bryant's case, in over 20 yrs he had Glen Rice for 1999-2000 and an injury-laden Vladimir Radmanovich in '05-'06. And the ever-intimidating Sasha Vujacic. Oh, and I nearly forgot: C) How often was Nash double-teamed?

Nash is probably the most overrated player of all-time. He was a poor man's John Stockton, and as great as Stockton was, he was never MVP level. That Nash won two when guys like Shaq, Kobe, and Garnett were around is ridiculous.

Still not MVP..dont see it. Plus all you have to do is put a Greg Popovich team in front of him and he folds. he never cracked the top 350 in DEFENSE. *prime example of his lack of defense* 👇 kzread.info/dash/bejne/nYNoxcOIp7acmqw.html I see how he can be a distributer..buts thats all..

Steve Nash couldn't have made the finals doing what Allen Iverson did. Iverson didn't even play on a team as talented as those early 00s mavs let alone those mid 00s suns.

that 00's convo kills me every time 🤣🤣🤣🤣

how can you not love Isiah and Shaq together

Brent Barry is an underrated commentator

John Stockton should be on every 90s top 5 for point guard. He was the purest point guard you could ask for. Passing. Steals. And durable. Never missed a game

Loved dis, Shaq always making things more entertaining. Grant Hill, "No wonder we didn't win in Phoenix, he was mad at d point guard"😂😂 loved dis

One of the best segments ever

Jason Kidd was the best point guard of the 2000 era. Not only can he pass but can play defense. Wasn't a great shooter but he can score when needed. Had back to back nba finals appearrances, and etc.

Sadly, there will never be basketball like the 80's again. we were taught growing up in Detroit in the early 80's to play like the bad boys even before the bad boys existed. guy comes down the lane, make him pay and send him to the hospital. its just how it was. the reason it changed is just like regular tv, the lions share of women viewers didnt take to it. once you lose women viewers, the programming changes. ever think of this? in real life you see older guys with much younger hotter girls. but you dont see it on tv. for a reason.

The women? No one wants to watch the hacking basketball of the 80’s and 90’s and end up watching free throw contests. And if the only way you can stop someone is to hurt em, you don’t belong on the court anyway.

29:20 Respect to Scott. Gotta give Dominique some credit. That guy was special, but stuck in Atlanta. Respect to DS for laying down the love for Wilkins. Deserved.

22:53 best line of the whole show

He knows the 70s more than everyone in his panel because his dad is a bad mofo. Yet again, he knew Dr J is better than Rick Berry

That Grant fade. eeish barber be on point.

Never knew how funny ERNIE JOHNSON IS 😂😂😂😂

Pretty amazed Moses Malone got overlooked as much as he did. A lot of people to this day still consider him among the top five centers of all time.

Not gonna lie. This panel in their prime would make a really good team.

This has to be one of the funniest episodes ever

too many things to pick up on about this. So I'll make it short. I love Isiah Thomas.

This is the best episode of open court or any NBA TV show

Only been watching the NBA seriously for a couple of years, so this is really educational and fun to watch. Shaq attack is a funny man as always.
